Dead Poetry Society

When I was young
the Beats had just died,
modernism was no
longer running by our side.
Posthaste, post modernism,
a literary communism,
where all are of the same height
—a poetic blight—
then poetry howled and died.

While I like the personal insight, I'm not sure about the sing songy rhyme scheme here. I think there is a potential message that is being smothered.
